The Rural Municipality of Springfield will use this funding to install an accessible outdoor splash pad for children with disabilities.
“The Government of Canada is working hard to eliminate barriers for people with disabilities,” said MP Falk. “I am very pleased to partner with both rural municipalities to help make these projects here in Provencher a reality.”
“I’d like to thank Mr. Falk and the Government of Canada for this funding,” said RM of Ste. Anne Reeve Art Bergmann. “Together we’re making our communities more accessible.”
